The Brindle Room

At previous positions at Employees Only and Dogmatic Dogs, Jeremy Spector trafficked in cocktail cuisine and haute fast food. Now, in new East Village digs he hopes to unveil this weekend, the chef-owner is focusing on sharable portions of eclectic comfort food—served, in some cases, in teacups inherited from the previous occupant, the neo-Korean Persimmon. The menu includes spaghetti and meatballs, a dry-aged burger (one of the best in town), and fisherman’s stew; small plates range from smoked chicken wings to garlic-chile shrimp; and transplanted Canadians, Mexicans, and maybe even Frenchmen can find flavors of home in dishes like duck-confit poutine and Mexican moules frites. Where there once was a single communal table, there’s now room for 35 at a banquette, a counter, and a newly built bar.
